[QUOTE="Das Hammer, post: 666055, member: 52373"] Yes, I do. I'm usually jumping between MythTV and MediaPortal, but I have been in one way or another for a few years. I am using a motor, actually a Vbox which is driving the actuator on the 10 footer. If you have C band capabilities the world really opens up. There is quite a bit of good stuff on Ku though. I like RTN (you can get a guide with schedules direct) and as far as I know Biography and History are still in the clear on Ku. Of course, there is PBS HD. For my HTPC box...whatever it is running at the time....I really only use a DVB-S card rather than a DVB-S2. Sadly, there just aren't enough DVB-S2 channels operating 24/7 to make it worthwhile yet. Everything I mentioned above can be had via DVB-S. For the card I am using a Hauppauge Nova-S plus. Works with the diseqc positioner I'm using and always has performed well. Any card using BDA drivers [I]should[/I] work, but whether or not diseqc motor support was there depended on if it was in the driver provided by the manufacturer. If I am remembering things properly. We can keep going in this thread or PM me for all the gory details. [/QUOTE]
